A man who fled from Louisiana last month after police said he shot and killed his neighbor was spotted in downtown's Travis Park on Wednesday and promptly arrested.

Antoine Johnson, 25, was arrested by members of the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force on a warrant for second-degree murder related to an April 21 slaying in Terrytown, La., in which police said Johnson shot his neighbor in the head, chest and torso with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun after an argument weeks earlier.

Louisiana authorities asked the task force for help finding Johnson on April 25 and he was found less than three weeks later.

He remained in the Bexar County Jail on Wednesday evening without bond, awaiting transport to Louisiana.
